It’s time to harness the true power of WeatherTrend360’s proprietary algorithms again as we begin to close out Winter. First lets break New Jersey into proper climatological regions. We have the upper elevations of NWNJ, the interior coastal plain (SWNJ through CNJ and into NENJ), and the coastal regions (most of SENJ). I’ll be representing each climatological region with a 28-day graph from weathertrends360 data followed by a brief discussion. Keep in mind that these algorithms are documented with an 84% accuracy rate and are based on oceanic water cycles and time table series. It’s not 100% but better than everything else out there.

Zone 1: Higher Elevations of NWNJ (Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon, Morris, N. Somerset, and N. Passaic) – Known for little to no Atlantic Ocean influence, colder-snowier winters, and drier conditions in general when compared to the coast. This region is known to get hot when high pressure sits overhead during the summer and bitterly cold during Arctic outbreaks in the winter.

Zone 1 Discussion: The rest of February should be overall colder than average. March 1 seems like a turning point (at least first gear) for warmer temperatures with highs in the 30s. March 9 seems like a shift into second gear as high temperatures reach into the 40s and 50s there afterward. With that being said, this week and weekend might be the last chance for a decent snow storm this winter. Regardless, precipitation looks to be average if not slightly below over the next month or so.

Zone 2 Discussion: The rest of February should be overall colder than average. March 1 seems like a turning point (at least first gear) for warmer temperatures with highs in the 30s and 40s. March 9 seems like a shift into second gear as high temperatures reach into the upper-40s, 50s and even 60s there afterward. With that being said, this week and weekend might be the last chance for a decent snow storm this winter. Regardless, precipitation looks to be average if not slightly below over the next month or so.

Zone 3: Coastal Regions (Cumberland, Cape May, Atlantic, E. Burlington, Ocean, and E. Monmouth) – Known for tremendous influence from the Atlantic Ocean. Oceanic influence keeps this zone cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than the interior coastal plain and especially the higher elevations of NWNJ. This forms a micro-climate that only local inhabitants and frequent visitors are familiar with.

Zone 3 Discussion: The rest of February should be overall colder than average. March 1 seems like a turning point (at least first gear) for warmer temperatures with highs in the 30s and 40s. March 9 seems like a shift into second gear as high temperatures reach into the upper-40s, 50s and even 60s there afterward. With that being said, this week and weekend might be the last chance for a decent snow storm this winter. Regardless, precipitation looks to be average if not slightly below over the next month or so.

In English: The current cold pattern will continue through the rest of February. March 1-9 seems slightly less cold but by March 9-forward, we’re staring Spring in the face with mild temperatures and normal rainfall amounts.
